And so she waited, and waited, and waited...

Well, due to my recent mishaps with those of the male persuasion, Chris, Renee' and I have come to an agreement that I should swear off boys for a while. That means that until Mardi Gras, and until I finish going through Authentic Beauty, I am not dating. Anyone. Period. And really, I need this... there are a lot of things I need to work on within myself right now, and anyway, God has basically told me that I can't be with "the one" until I shape up, because as of right now I'd screw it up too bad. So I'm ready to stop messing around. For the next few months I'm not going to date (which I realized today that by Chris and Renee's description that's going to be pretty hard...meaning finding a group of people to go see "Saw" since I can't go alone with a guy...and Christmas is coming up and people are getting lovedrunk...and then there's Valentine's Day...*sigh*) I really think it will be a great experience for me, and rather than keeping me from love I think it will help me find it. I think that because I'm doing this I won't "miss the boat", because A) I definately won't be wasting my time with guys who don't count, B) if I meet a guy who wants to date me and will wait until after Mardi Gras then I know he's more than likely worth it, and C) This will give me the time I need to really become the woman God wants me to be for the man I'm supposed to be with...or at least get a little further in that path before I meet him. So, until Mardi Gras, I'm single for real this time. I've really pissed off a couple of guys in the past week because I turned them down despite their valiant efforts (one saying the "L" word, one offering to fill my car up with gas if I come see him), and this will be a legitimate, tangible reason to give that shouldn't anger anyone worth anything. So yeah, wish me luck in my efforts, and if you're a guy, you have to go through Chris to hang out with me for now, because he decides who the accepted list of male friends is...yeah, hahaha, he's the "enforcer". He speaks softly and carries a large stick...and by stick I mean gun. :-)

Not only do any guys who want to pursue you have to go through Chris, but me as well. And I am much pickier than Chris! Not to mention not afraid to hurt anyone :-)

Have a nice day!

What the heck?

Obviously this person is an idiot who doesn't really know me. First of all, I definately haven't been going after anyone else's man, nor have I ever done that...at least, not that I know of. I really don't understand where this person is coming from, but if they're legitimate with their accusations, they should come say it to my face rather than ranting senselessly in a comment on my blog. Dang... I have better things to do than think of any more of a response to that junk.
